I knew I wanted to make a card with fabric, seeing as how I have more of that than any other crafting supply. I started hunting around for a fabric card tutorial, because I wanted to give my card the best chance at seeing the light of day.
Via Pinterest (that tool of wonder and magic), I found this:
Super lovely, right? And Lindsay from The Cottage Home made a fantastic tutorial for the rest of us who are scared to sew on paper.
Friends, let me just warn you and say that my card looks like something off of Regretsy.
I don't know if it's the sequins or the woodland animals frolicking across flowers and holly berries but something about this card is ... off. My stitching was wretched so I covered it up with sequins. I think the only thing missing from this disaster is puffy paint.
"Dear Rob, Even though this card is awful, please know you are still 'deer' to me this holiday season. Love, Meg. PS. I love you with the passion of six bunnies fighting over a carrot."
Woodland animals and pictures with toilets in them are awesome.
Rob was pleased. He genuinely laughed when I gave it to him, but I don't know if that was out of horror of my crafty skills or he was genuinely touched by my kind words and the accompanying animals.

Well .... tomorrow we deal with food! Let's hope that goes a little better and there are no toilets involved.
